That is true, replied st. Diuan.

go up to the end of the coppice,
climb low wall, and you will be in
the garden" said Jugon. NO one
will think it strange for you to be in
the garden hatless. Then get hat
and come and join me.
1t is not needful TO recount all the
conversation between these two ras-
Gals. Jugon recommended the return
of what St. Oman had stolen as the
loss might be discovered. He disclosed
to st Oman how he had become thor
oughly acquainted with the secrets Of
the chateau, when a boy as he was the
son of the former steward, and how he
had recently ascertained where Nine.
Trevoux kept her valuable papers, etc.
He had procured duplicate key to the
closet, and had within three months re-
moved stocks Of great value and re-
placed them with papers Of no value.
Now he thought it was nearly time to
clean out what was left, then they could
quit the country before the theft was
discovered.
Ever since the circumstance of the
missing leather case the mind of Nine.
Trevoux had been on the rack. She
had searched her closet and had dis
covered the fact that the stocks had
been distracted and worthless papers
substituted. Some one, she knew, who
had her confidence was robbing her,
and her suspicious fell upon the doctor.
If she disclosed her mistrust in any
way, how easy for him to poison her?
True, she had never taken his medicine
since that night, but then there might
be many ways known to a physician Of
introducing poison into the human sys-
tenn of which she was ignorant. So
she resolved to disarm all suspicion on
the doctors part by treating him With
the utmost apparent confidence.
Then she secretly dispatched a letter
to Ceylon, to a NJ. Leconte, who had
formerly been a clerk in her husbands
employment M, Leconte obeyed the
urgent summons, and in due time Sc
cretly reached Rcims.
When he was informed Of the cir
cumstances Of the robbery, he quietly
waited on the chief of police and ar
ranged with him to be at the chateau at
a certain hour. When St. DinaH ar
rived, as usual, Nine. Trevoux received
him graciously. Then entered LecOnte
and the chief. The business was brief.
M ST. Oman" said Leconte, II am
Mime. Trevoux's friend. This is the
chief of police; Nine. Trevoux has been
robbed of valuable property, and we
have reason to suspect you? What
have you to sayP"
st. Oman had nothing to say. He
pleaded that he was Nine. Trevoux's
nephew, and confessed his association
with Jugon in the crime. Jugon was
speedily captured and most of the stocks
were recovered. Nine TrevOux's
nephew told the story in court as it is
told here, and he and JugoD were sent
to prison for ten years each.

A MEDICAL MANS MEMORY
OF WARTIME.

Under the above heading we shall short
" begin the publication Of series OF Illus
trated War Sketches, written by private
soldier, by man who himself carried
musket, and which viii interest all readers,
both young and old alike
They are not devoted to a discussion or
criticism Of men and methods, but in a
plain simple manner tell a soldiers story
from soldiers standpoint
They are rich in incident and valuable az
a historical series, but yetinvested with an
interest equal to that found in a tale Of
fiction
Don't miss the first number of this re-
markable series In reading them your
children viii learn to love history and be-
come familiar with a story every American
boy and girl ought to read.
There is nothing of a bitter or sectional
feeling pervading the artlcles-that is in
the shape Of opinion expressed by the
author, or in the spirit in which his nara
tive is written. limo sense does the author
obtrude his personal opinions, but narrates
facts, together with his own observations
as to what he as private soldier saw and
experienced. The series will be appro-
priately illustrated; few specimen cuts
arc here with given.

a Surprise for tho Teacher.

/ heard of a young teacher in one of
the public schools the other day who
suffers all the pleasures and inconven-
fences of being idolized by her boys,
and it seemed as though it must be
much more pleasant to be little less
adored after being told of some of her
experiences. The children demon
strate their affection in various ways
peculiar to shy young innocents who
must walk, breathe and speak accord
ing to public school discipline. One
of their greatest pleasures is giving
teacher something" Winter or sum-
mer, this very popular teachers desk
is covered with childish, boyish tokens
that show an inherent spirit Of gal
lantry which is quite touching-in the
abstract. The other morning a little
Chap sidled up to the desk with box
in his little red paw, and pressing it
into his teachers hand, said in whis-
per: There, I've brought 'em for
you" "What is it., dear?" said the
teacher "Oh, you lookn' with grin
of satisfaction. Untying the string
she opened the box, and behold, there
were a set of false teeth! They are
mammals explained the child in a
delightful tone; they're much pref
tier than yours, and l brought 'em to

A Senatorial Prophecy.

Senator German, talking of the cloak
room, occasionally speaks Of himself as
having been a page in the senate, and
gives the story inthis way: His father
was a friend Of Stephen A. Douglas,
and when he died, leaving a widow in
destitute circumstances, Mr.. Douglas
got the position of page in the senate
for the boy.
81 served in that capacity for several
years" said Mr.. German, "and was
getting to be too old and too grown-up
for my position. Then somebody offer
ed me 4 place in some business west,
and l was on the point of taking the
offer when Mr.. Dot gas found me one
day and talked to me seriously, Don't
go said he; stay here, there are other
things you can do; then go away and
don't come back until you come as sem
atOr.
IL took his words in earnest, another
position was found me, then | was
made postmaster of the senate until l
went to Maryland as collector of inter-
nal revenue. After while l was sent
to the Maryland legislature; then they
began, after had been there year or
two, to talk about sending me to Wash
ington rs representative. / always
said no; Mr.. Douglas words had come
to be sort of prophecy. Secretly l
meant to go if ] could be senator, but
not otherwise. 1t was 4 prophecy; and
in time came back rs senator to the
floor where | had been page fifteen
years before.
There are also three members Of the
house who were pages there when boys,
and they say it is not a bad training

New York Churches.

Gotham, for q town supposed to be
mortgaged to His Majesty down be-
low, has a good deal of money invested
in churches. The total is about sixty
million dollars. 1t vexes the soul Of
Col. Ingersoll that all this property is
exempt from taxation. If it bore its
share of the tax burden like other
property its contribution to the city
treasury would be about a million n
year. Trinity church heads the list in
point Of value, the figures on it being
$4,000, 700. The Roman Catholic ca
thedral on Fifth avenue comes next. at
$2,000,000. Trinity is actually worth
at least 100000, and the Catholic
cathedral not less than $4,000, 000i
ST. Paul's is set down at $3.50, 900,
and Grace at $500 900. which IS hardly
half what any real estate broker would
say it is worth. The fashionable st.
Thomas church on Fifth avenue is
valued at $4,000, and the Fifth Az
enue Presbyterian church (Dr Hall's)
near by, at the same figure. One
Dutch Reform church on the avenue
stands at 100000 and another at

wherein the more progressive Hebrews
worship, at $650,000 One Roman

at 100000, and the next highest
figure in that denomination is $3.50, 600
on St. Stephens, the scene of the DR..

The well known Little Church Around
the Corner is on the list at $3.50, 900.
Along Fifth avenue and Madison

are some thirty churches ranging in
value from 100000 to $3.50, 0O0.-
